Is the 8 Yard Skip Right for You?
The 8-yard skip strikes the right balance. It’s big enough to handle waste from larger domestic jobs and small trade projects without being too big to place on most driveways making them the perfect skip size. It works well for:
- Home renovations
- Garden clearances
- Full house clearances
- Garage and loft clear-outs
- Small-to-medium building jobs
If you need something larger, you might want to look at a 10-yard skip or bigger. A 10-yard skip has a larger bin bag capacity and holds around 100 bin bags and suits more demanding jobs.
